Cotton, A Hundred Dollars
A Bale.
With cotton at SIOO and upwards per bale, though
Barrow county makes only half a crop, many of our
debts ought to lie paid. There will be some money
for the debts that are hanging over -us and enough to
pay to this year’s obligations in full. The country
is going to he in better condition than it was last
year, and the people are to far better spirit. The
tilling to do is to gather our crop as rapidly as possi
ble and pay our obligations as fast as we get out our
cotton. Cotton is now bringing a good price.
O
Right of Trial By Jury.
In discussing the Dupre case, the Atlanta Georgian
says:
“Would that every criminal in Georgia—high and
low, rich and poor, white and black —might have at
all times the legulsafeg uard thrown about his
right of trial by jury that was afforded In the Dupre
ease."
We agree with our Atlanta contemporary thor
oughly, and we would like to add to the above wish
the following:
“Would that every criminal in Georgia—high and
low, rich mid poor, white and black - might have at
all times the same measure of justice meted out to
him as was given to the Atlanta murderer.
O
They Didn’t Do It.
Under the head of an editorial entitled “Drank Sa
vaamah's Liquor, Thou Threw Her Down, the Co
lumbus Enquirer-Sun says: "Say what you please
about it, if reports he true, or even lmlf true, our
Savannah friends wasted a lot of good booze in their
efforts to properly entertain the Georgia legislature
and give It a good impress if m of Savannah as the
logical location for the state port.”’
That is not our understanding of it at all. More
Ilian one solon was heard tri complain that Savannah
was distressingly ilry when the “isn't was being look
ed over, whereas they were loud in their praise of the
“'unbounded” hospitality of Brunswick. As one ex
pressed it, no one had to rustle for the wine of joy.
We have no knowledge concerning what did occur at
either place, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that many
of the lawmakers did not hesitate to let it be known
that they were powerfully pleased with the hospital
ity accorded them by Savannah’s rival. Perhaps Sa
vannah did not sustain her reputation in some ways
that had made her famous for instance, in dispens
ing the variety of “chicken salad" a noted admiral
liked so well when a visitor to that city some years
age. We believe that our Columbus contemporary has
<lone the legislators and Savannah an injustice.—

O
The Handiwork of God.
1 have loved to feel the grass under my feet and
the running streams by my side. The hum of the
wind in the treetops has always been music to me,
and the face of the fields lias often comforted me
more than the faces of men. 1 am in love wit'h this
world because of my constitution. I have nestled
lovingly in it. It has been home. It has been my
point of looking into the universe. I have not bruis
ed myself against it, nor tried to use if ignobly. I
have tilled its soil, 1 have gathered its harvests, 1
have waited upon its seasons and always have reaped
what 1 have sowed. While 1 delved 1 did not lose
sight of the sky overhead. While I gathered bread
and meat for any body, 1 did not neglect to gather
its bread ami meat for the soul. 1 have climbed its
mountains, roamed its forests, felt the sting of Ws
frosts, the oppressions of its lieat, the drench of its
rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty
and joy waited upon my going and coming.- John Bur
roughs.
O
A woman out In California has bought another
woman’s husband for SIOO i>or month. We feel pret
ty sure there are many wives that would like to make
such a 'trade.
O
No man has lambasted Governor Hardwick any
harder than Editor Jones of laOrange. and no man
is supporting him stronger now. Why such a change
of front ?
We Regret It.
Together with the citizens of Barrow county we
deeply regret the tragic occurrence of last Saturday.
We regret the lynching of the negro. We regret the
attack that led up to the lynching. >Vfo only hope
and pray that the good people of our state will evolve
some way by which molt rulel will be a listed. The
press of the state has lifted its voice ajl these years
against the molt spirit, but without avail. Maybe
speedier trials by our courts, less interference on
the part of our chief executives with the results of
the courts would help some. We do not know. Of
one thing we feel sure, that it is time that our sober,
thoughtful, edrnest citizens, those who love our state,
should put their heads together and decide upon some
plan that would increase the respect of our people
for law and order.
O
Athens is trying to secure a white way. She is
probably trying to keep pace with Winder.
O
There are thousands -of voters in Georgia who
really think that a candidate will do what he promises
after the election. Truly, the people love to he fooled.
